pam_unix does not fully honor the "nis" flag

The pam_unix module attempts to resolve users via NIS, regardless of
whether the "nis" flag is set. When the system has a working NIS setup
not enabled in /etc/nsswitch.conf, e.g. during an LDAP migration,
password changes are reported as successful, but no action is taken.
Fix attached.
